As PLO chief Yasser Arafat Saturday lauded the International Court of Justice’s decision that Jerusalem must remove its anti-terror fence, members of his Fatah organization were poised to launch their next murderous strike on Israel’s Jews.
That strike came early Sunday morning, when a remote-controlled bomb killed one Israeli and wounded at least 30 others at a bus stop in southern Tel Aviv.
The fatality was later identified as a 19-year-old female IDF soldier. Four of the injured were listed in moderate-to-serious condition at area hospitals.
“Palestinian” Prime Minister and Arafat-crony Ahmed Qureia issued a general condemnation of all violence in response, but failed to specifically denounce the killers involved in Sunday’s attack.
Qureia is also a member of Fatah, whose Al Aqsa Brigades “military wing” claimed credit for the bombing.
